Hi all,

so i’m trying to upgrade my out of date discourse installation from 1.6.0 to the latest.

I’ve created a dev server local, ensured it was running, then restored the 1.6.0 backup onto it.

After the restore is complete my site is all a bit screwy,  
All the headers in the admin area start with “en.admin.”

The console is full of errors as well.

Can’t seem to fix it and i’m not quite sure whats wrong.
